8 Ball Pool Timer and Rules

DMB-Apps

About this app

This app helps you to umpire (referee) Eightball pool matches (using World Eightball Pool Federation rules).


The main feature is a 60 second timer, that can provide a warning at 30 seconds.
It shows how to correctly rack the balls before the frame starts, and can (optionally) assist in making the correct ruling following a break or time foul.


The entire main area of the screen can be clicked to reset the timer, which vibrates to indicate that the timer has been reset. This makes it easy to time shots without having to look away from the table!


Includes a timeout button and various settings.


This app can also be used from an Android Wear device.


Feedback/suggestions encouraged.

The only possible way that this app could be improved upon,is to have dual applications. I play for a local team that has a 20 sec warning, & a 40 sec shot limit! Cannot have 2 applications. A bit of a nuisance changing the settings each time i play somewhere different! Otherwise %100 perfect! That was the only possible fault found! Thank you!

Great app, simple and easy to use. This app is a great help for refereeing pool. Timer resets on screen touch, and the phone vibrates at 30 seconds and 0 seconds remaining, keeping focus on the game. Sound alerts can also be turned on or vibration off. Included is an optional prompt to help call the break, which can otherwise be confusing for newer players. It would be great to see a copy of world rules included in the app, rather than a link to the EPA, and even the rules for other cuesports.

Not much functionality. The rules guiding would be useful if it would contain the gameplay not only the break. Also with the other rulesets.
